“Just don't stay in the private room behind the bar if you can.” (dee14419)

“The bungalows are awesome.” (135alexandrac)

“Although a bit more expensive the private rooms really add to the experience. Though saying that the dorms though basic ( as dorms are) are perfectly reasonable if your traveling in a group.” (Phil_bolger)

“Dorm room if you like to party, Twin room if you like a little privacy. Bungalow if you like it a little quieter away from the bar.” (couple275)

“I'd go the extra $7 a night and get the bungalow room with a personal fan and mosquito net- well worth it if you're not into dorm stay.” (ErinJane84)

“Get a bungalow if you're planning on booking a private room - they're closer to the toilet/showers & also a little quieter as they're at the back of the property.” (Yooms)

Only ate here, but seems like a cool place to stay too.
Options are limited on Otres, but this makes a good place to grab a meal or a drink. There is a decent atmosphere, most of the guests and staff are pretty cool. Prices are in line or slightly better than beachfront. Meals start around $4, and there's some...

Actually we found this place accidently, we were searching for a room on the otres beach, and almost every hotel was full. So this was the only cheap place wich had rooms available. We got a room upstairs of the restaurant. It was simply, wooden fan room with a doublebed covered in a bugnet. We stayed here for 3 nights...

The name says it all! If you're a laid back free spirit floater with a solid taste in music this place is for you! Really chill place with nice private bungalows, delicious food & cocktails, welcoming staff and a great vibe :) shout out to Helena (I think that's her name?) for our sunset yoga class, it was amazing!

Since my last 4 years of backpacking around the world this is still the best place I ever been to, returned here for the last 3 years. The staff and owners are amazing. The khemers in the kitchen makes amazing food. High quality drinks and everything is super cheap here.
Have a fun day.

We made our booking for New Year over the phone weeks in advance and they only had the private room available. At $25 a night you would think it would be a decent stay......... Think again.
The room is right behind the bar with walls as thin as rice paper. The bar opens from 6.30/7am till 2/3am = no sleep....

Thank you for your review. Yes you are right, you did make a booking over the phone for New Years Eve. We usually never take bookings during this time, as it is a headache dealing with guest’s bookings in the peck of high season. We try our hardest to never kick people out of our home. I think you should...

First I have to get the negative out the way, the Garden room is not the room to stay if you want to rest and sleep in the evenings. The music from the bar (which plays until midnight) is so loud in this room...because it is next to the bar. If you're fine with going to bed late then the...

We stumbled across this place when we were staying next door. The bar staff were welcoming and friendly and we soon got to know them and the locals! The owners Aaron and Kat were the nicest couple and even helped my girlfriend to get me a surprise birthday cake which was really special and so appreciated. We ended up going...

I left "footprints" on otres 1 to come and stay at this gem of a hostel. I stayed in a room with a double bed which was suprisingly comfortable.
We were welcomed with such a bunch of happy faces, and this crew seemed to know what they were doing. The food (although expensive for some, i heard) was incredible. And...
